Sunshine Chicken



I have been trying to clean out my freezer. I had cut up a whole chicken recently and had some thighs in the freezer. After doing some research, this recipe stood out as simple and tasty. It did not disappoint! The sauce that you use to baste the chicken with gives it a wonderful full flavor. The only change I made in the recipe was to use skinless chicken thighs. I really loved the flavor of this dish and will totally do it again. This can be used with any type of chicken. Chicken legs will work great and I may just do this again on the ones in the freezer!! (Sorry for the rough picture. Some food is just hard to photograph!) Enjoy!!

Ingredients:

3 pounds chicken thighs
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup corn syrup
1 pinch garlic powder

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Place chicken pieces in a single layer and skin side up, in a 9x13 inch baking dish.

Mix the soy sauce, ketchup, corn syrup and garlic powder in a small bowl. Baste the chicken with the sauce, reserving some sauce for basting during baking. Bake uncovered in the preheated oven, basting approximately every 15 minutes, for 1 hour (or until chicken is done and juices run clear).

  3. We loved this chicken. I tweaked the recipe slightly, using more garlic and substituting honey for the corn syrup - yummy, yummy!
